Fat Media is a specialist website design and digital marketing company recognised by top British corporations as the ‘go to’ company for high-end website design and development and tactical digital marketing campaigns.

Based in the North West, the team of over 90 digital marketing experts display an impressive range of skills in website design, programming, SEO and digital marketing.

Our results-driven approach to website design, development and digital marketing embraces the crucial concept of listening to and understanding clients' aims and desires.

And through this principle, working with clients as an extension of their marketing teams, we consistently deliver dynamic and effective digital marketing campaigns that get results.

We are proud of our high-powered client list of more than 700 national and regional companies that include Lakeland, Warburtons, NHS, Lancaster University and Yotel.

We take great pride in the knowledge that the majority of our new client work is triggered by recommendation as it shows our clients appreciate what we do for them.

But there is no room for complacency and we believe passionately that our 'can do' mentality sets us apart. From day one, our philosophy was simple; to meet with all clients face-to-face and design websites of the highest quality possible using the latest technology.

To achieve this we research numerous industries to ensure we not only understand our clients but also their marketplace. From producing website design and development work to such a high standard also comes recognition in the form of industry awards and we have won dozens of awards for our websites and also won Creative Business of the Year at the Red Rose Awards.

We are proud to be early adopters of the latest technology and keep ahead of the competition by continually developing our advanced content management systems which give our clients the ability to edit every aspect of their website. We are also using new technology such as HTML 5 and CSS 3 which benefits our client’s websites both from a visual and interactive perspective.

We also constantly seek to improve our knowledge of website design, digital marketing tactics, content management systems, IT infrastructure and search engine optimisation skills. Another reason to choose us is that we have hand-picked people who, of course, have the expected level of technical abilities but, more importantly, have excellent communication skills.

Most companies in the web design industry have a marketing team who are client facing and a technical team who are not but we decided at an early stage to buck this trend to ensure all team members go out and see clients to build long and lasting relationships.

This ensures that all digital marketing team members can liaise directly with our clients throughout the whole website design or digital marketing campaign process. This enables us to deliver website projects ahead of deadlines and results in our clients getting the most return on investment from each campaign.

We have also instilled a real culture of wanting to deliver results for our client’s websites. This involves all members of the team showing initiative and having the right and the ability to challenge the way in which things are done to provide our clients with the best possible website design or digital marketing service every time. Creating this desire to innovate within the team has paid dividends for our clients and we now have a reputation for being truly ahead of the game.

We insist on adopting a completely bespoke and personal approach, tailoring all website or mobile products and services to suit an individual customer’s needs. To successfully achieve this though we take the following approach:

Developing a detailed understanding of a client’s needs from the initial contact/phone call – the team who take first calls are well trained to extract detailed information

A guaranteed face-to-face visit with prospective clients, regardless of size, by a senior member of staff to understand thoroughly the nature of the work and needs

Taking a good, solid, reliable brief to enable the digital marketing consultants and web designers to undertake their job right first time

Researching potential clients’ organisations, their target markets and competitors prior to first presentation - this may well include a focus group approach

Regular communication throughout creative and production stages

Thorough evaluation of the results of every digital marketing campaign

We work nationally with hundreds of website design and development clients in Lancashire, Cumbria, Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and nearly every other county in the UK.

We also work nationally with many public sector organisations on website design and digital marketing projects.
